Debian sound via 82xx does not work

dexternl · 07-18-2007, 02:00 PM

Hello all thank you for checking my thread.

My sound does not work. First I had also my Creative card in witch I removed since there is not a linux driver and it might mess with the configure.
My sound card just won't work. I don't now where to start or to end. I did googled alot and tried alot of install guides but none of them worked. There are no errors just no sound. Here some tech of mine (I will add more if req.

Also after a alsa.conf I pressed do not reload the volume control and now it doesnt auto start anymore or get in the systray

My user is already member of the audio group
I checked alsamixer and my outline is not muted

If you already know about alsamixer, ignore this post. Alsamixer is an ncurses audio mixer. You have to use it to turn off 'mute' before you can hear any sounds with alsa. Just type 'alsamixer' (in a text terminal) and then use the right and left arrow keys to select what output you want to change. Go to the main output and turn off 'mute' by pressing 'M'. Exit the program (type <Esc>) and try your audio. After that you can type 'alsactl store' to save your changes between startups. I hope this is helpful.

Try this command:

Code:

modprobe snd-via82xx

or

Code:

modprobe snd_via82xx

I can't remember which one worked for me.

dashes and underscores are read as the same character in modules. I don't remember where I read that, but it was in the process of figuring out how to make my own sound work..
